Great jacket

Everything under the jacket was dry and WARM!

Over 100 miles from Ensenada to Tecate in driving rain, at least 80 on the dirt with plenty of big road wide puddles last weekend and I was really comfortable and dry. It is a bit warm for moderate temps even with all vents open but it was over a chest protector and under a large backpack and tool belt. Fit fine in the large KLIM pack when it did warm up.
Generally too warm for single track but GOLD on fast 2 tracks.

When you spend $500 on a pair of pants...

A while ago, I would not have considered spending this kind of money on a pair of pants. I got the Badlands jacket as part of a package deal, but the pant's were too small. The jacket fit like tailored coat. The quality and protection on these is fantastic. I had to get a pair of pants that fit me and retire my old gear, which I had loved to that point. It's amazing how fickle these relationships can be. I am a true believer in the gospel of Klim.
